THEAIR brakes on the trains seems
to be the cause ofnot a few accidents.
Only this week train running at a
high rate Of speed, failed to slacken
when the air brakes were applied,
and the result was the death of an
engineer, the demolishing of a signal
tower, and serious injury to many
passengers near Washington, d. G.
The engineer did his duty and met
his death because some part Of the
machinery connected with the air
brake failed to work.

Can mosquito see in the dark We
are not prepared to say but one thing we
do know and that is, if a mosquito fops
down ON a fellows nose, and the fellow
quietly raises his hand and comes down
on his proboscis, in nine cases out of ten
the skeeter is not there. Now, can any
one tell us that the skeeter cannot. see
after dark. We say he can, and will
stick to it, as persistently as the skeeter

A Case Of Deafness Cured.

Office of Shaw x Baldwin's Wholesale
Notion House, Toledo, O., Dec II, 1879.
FL Cheney'& Co., Toledo, O.-Dear
Sirs. About three months ago, noticing
letter addressed to you in the Bee from
Gen. Slevin, in reference to the cure of
his son by the use of Halls Catarrh Cure
We We're induced to commence the use
of it for our daughter Nellie now fourteen
years old, who has been suffering from
catarrh for about eight years, during
which time she has been treated by one
of the best physicians in the city. We
have also tried the use of almost all the
known remedies for c2tarrh, with no
more success than temporary relief.
Many nights have we laid awake to hold
her mouth open to keep her from strang-
ling Her hearing had also become If
iected. We were afraid that she would
never recover. We have now used six
bottles of lIAlI's CATARRm CuRE, and we
believe Nellie to be entirely cured. In
Il few days after commencing the use of
it We noticed a decided change for the
better, and from that right along she
has improved, until now she brcathes as
easily as any one. She sleeps well and
her hearing is perfectly good. We feel
that the disease is entirely removed. We
write this unsolicited letter, feeling that
it is due you, and with the hope that
others may be benefited in like manner
We can hardly realize that such change
could he effected in so short time after
battling with the disease so long We
are still using the remedy at intervals, as
it seems to build up her system. You
are at liberty to use this in any manner
you see proper. We are yours, truly,

An exchange gives the following ex-
cellent advice when you get up in
the morning take big drink of water.
Your system wants water first. An en-
CINE isn't first fired up and then, some
water let into the boiler. Clean your
teeth and let the water run from the
spigot while you are doing it. Use COM
mon hydrant water no ice no salt, no
mineral water. Ordinary water is good
enough for an ordinary healthy man.
Keep away from drugs and pills and give
your stomach a show"
There are very few men who tan
do what the above calls for. ANY man
can clean his teeth but how is the water
to run from the spigot? Where is the
spigot? Then in the second place it is
too much trouble to run to some city
every morning to get hydrant water

1t begins to look as if the fight for
Constitutional Reform had fairly opened
in New Castle county, and that an active
earnest campaign will soon be Inaugural
ted. Sussex county is already enthusiasts
tic over the movement and if New Castle
joins heartily in the fight, Constitution
al Convention will be ordered, even if
the selfish factional leaders of the Kent
Democracy, as now seems probable, join
hands in the effort to defeat this great
object.-Snnday Star.
The above is sort of guess work. 1t is
time that Constitutional Reform had
fairly opened" but it has not. This re-
form will have a hard road to travel be-
fore there will be meeting held, if ever.
There are many reasons why politicians
and oflice-holders don't care about a con-
stitutional reform.

1t is a remarkable fact but nearly
every man who goes to horse race can
tell why this, that or the other horse
did not win. They can tell whether the
driver is holding or driving for first
money. It also is a fact that many take
a delight in yelling on the man who is
behind. There are so many who know
so much and yell their loudest when they
ought to be quiet. However, when a
mans enthusiasm gets the best of him
he forgcts all about himself and gives
vent to his feelings, which he would not
do if he knew he was making himself so
conspicuous. Hoop, all

The performance was largely attended and much enjoyed by all. At the races at Saltonstall Saturday there will probably be fat and lean mems race. The Porter Literary society will hold it's regular meeting tonight.
 Upon the receipt of the news that Yale go had beaten Harvard go by so over whelming score, the joy of the freshmen knew no bounds and found vent in various ways. First they seized the freshman fence and then they built bonfire and made the night lively with their songs and antics. A number of them were bold enough to carry away an oathouse from g neighboring build ing and were hurrying it to the large bonfire in front of old South when just in front of North they were bounced upon by the facul- ty. They immediately retreated and the abandoned building was carefully watched by the faculty the remainder of the night.

NO SALE OF TH E DERBY.

The Finance Committee Finally De. eide on a RePort-Unanfmou usly Op posed to tho Sale to the HousaIonic Company for the Price OEered-Pfesi- dent Joel A. Sperry to be Given Leave To Withdraw His Oaer of $2 5O,OOO The final meeting of the board of finance to consider the proposals for the city's inter- est in the Derby road was held at the Mayors office last evening. Following is the report which will be submitted:
 To the honorable Court of Common Council of the city of New Haven:
 The board of finance, to whom was referred the proposal of the Housatonic Valley rail road company. to purchase the interests of the city in the Derby railroad company and also other papers Tn reference thereto, re- spectfully report that they gave full and public hearings upon the propositions con- tained in said proposals and heard the testi- mony of all citizens and others whe wished to be heard in reference to the same; and upon the evidence thus offered the board are unanimously of the development of the Derby rail road by either of the proposed routes, namely, by way of Seymour or the Housaton- ic Valley, or by the Derby railroad itself un- der the power granted in its charter, so as to make direct railroad communication be- tween New Haven and the West, and making the city thereby a permanent competitive railroad point, would be of great benefit and advantage to the mercantile and industrial interests of the city and add to the welfare of all it's inhabitants. In finding this to be true the board are yet unanimously of the opinion that the sum of $175, 900. the price offered by the said Housatonic Valley rail road is not sufficient equivalent for the city's claim as creditor against the said Der by railroad company, and for it's shares of stock in said corporation.
 In the judgment of the board the consider ation offered being inadequate they do not deem it necessary to refer to the other mat ters submitted to them in reference to said sale. They therefore respectfully recommend that the said Housatonic Valley railroad com pany be given leave to withdraw its said proposal. All of which is respectfully sub- mitted.
